Ancient Sea Peoples of the North Atlantic

Photo Still 1 Photo Still 2

This film presents a 40 year chronicle of research by Smithsonian scientists, whose work uncovered one of America’s most surprising anthropological mysteries: the story of the early ocean-adapted, Native American civilization that once existed along the now submerged Atlantic coastlines of North America, going back to the last Ice Age. The story, offered with a Native American perspective, places this discovery in the context of the world’s poorly understood, pre-Neolithic maritime revolution and shows how the oceans and their changing environments have shaped the development of cultures over millennia.
